On Labor Day this year, unions and workers’ rights groups are calling on advocates to forgo traditional barbecues and picnics known for ending the summer season and to instead hold rallies.

One is planned for 7-8:30 a.m. at the Apache Junction city marker at South Phelps Drive and East Old West Highway.

“Unions representing teachers and other workers are joining with other advocacy organizations to turn Labor Day 2025 on Sept. 1 into a day of protest and recruitment and an opportunity to fortify their national campaigns against Trump’s attacks on health care, Social Security and other safety net programs,” it states in a release.
